“I’m doing my best to get pregnant” declared Sarah. “That’s just it Sarah, you’re not doing this alone. You act as if all the weight is on you. And it’s not. It hurts me when you think you’ve failed Us by not getting pregnant. It’ll happen. When? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I need you with me 100%; whether we ever become parents or not” said Peter. “I asked you to marry me because I love you. It wasn’t contingent on whether or not we could make babies. It was because I am in love with you” said Peter while taking Sarah into his arms. “Let me love you with or without children in our lives” stated Peter. “Oh Babe, I know you love me. I just wanted to be able to grow our family because of the love you freely give me. I want our children to know that kind of love as well. But you are right. I have been putting too much pressure on myself to conceive. If you give me a massage tonight, I promise I won’t ask you to give me a baby too” said Sarah grinning. “Oh no, if I give you a massage tonight, I’m definitely giving you a baby too” suggested Peter.
“Get it together girl. Don’t get too excited. You’ve been here before, or so you thought. Just make the doctors appointment and take one day at a time. No need to say anything to Peter until you’re absolutely sure.” Sarah told herself while looking at the at-home pregnancy test. “Mrs Black, you are pregnant” stated the Doctor. While driving home from her appointment, Sarah talked to God. “I just knew this time we’d get pregnant. First the dream. And then after Peter and I finished talking that night and the massage that followed, we truly came together as one. And now we’ve created new life. I’m excited and anxious at the same time. I’m trusting You to help me deal with the anxiety knowing that all will be well. I can hardly wait to tell Peter” prayed Sarah. That night after dinner, Sarah surprised Peter with the news that they were going to have a baby.
“Push Babe. You’ve got this. We’ve come too far for you to give up now” said Peter. “You’re doing just fine Mrs Black” declared the Doctor. Speaking softly to her husband, Sarah said “Peter, I want to thank you for putting up with me going through all these changes trying to have a baby. I know it wasn’t easy for you to sit on the sidelines until I got myself together. But I promise you right here and right now that this pregnancy has truly changed my mindset about what’s really important in our relationship. I love you so much and I want you to know that you are Loved. I will forever be in your corner and on your side. There’s truly nothing that I need more in my life than to know your love for me. However, today we are bringing into this world a new love of our own. Not only are you a good husband, I know you’ll be a very good Daddy” acknowledged Sarah. Kissing Sarah’s forehead, Peter says “Thanks Babe. I love you too… now PUSH!” “Congratulations, it’s a boy!” declared the Doctor. Smiling while looking Sarah in the eyes, Peter says “We did it. Peter Jefferson Black, we’ve been waiting a long time for you to get here.
